The object of the present invention is to provide a balsam for curing colic,gout,tooth- 1o ache, earache, sores, hemorrhage,indigestion, and like diseases, or for alleviating pain; and it consists of the following ingredients, namely: alkanet, gum'aloes, (Socotrine,) Spanish saffron, gum-olibanum, gum-myrrh, gum-ben- I 5 zoin,gum-eamphor, oil of lavender, best quality of cologne, grain-musk, tincture of cinnamon, and alcohol. These are compounded in the following proportions, namely: alkanet, ten grams gum-aloes, (Socotrine,) thirty grams; Spanish saffron, onefourth gram; gumolibanum, thirty grams; gum-myrrh, thirty grams; gum-benzoin, fifteen grams; gum-camphor, fifteen grams; oil of lavender, fifteen grams; cologne,six grams; grain-musk,sixteen one-hundredths gram; tincture of cinnamon,

thirty grams; alcohol, one quart. These are compounded in the following manner I first take the ingredients one, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight, and place them in the alco- 0 hol, and let the same stand from three to four days. I then put into this preparation the other ingredients, and after well mixing the same it is ready for use.

This balsam is composed principally of (No Specimens.)

gums, and all the ingredients used are safe 3 5 and valuable, possessing remedial properties of a high order,and combined in a safe and judicious manner, so as to bring into opera tion the curative powers of allthe elements.

It is an external as well as an internal reme- 4o dy, and in using the same for hemorrhage or iudigestiomor like complaints,about eighteen drops should be used. For other purposes more or less may be used, as desired, and in case of burns, sores, or earache and 5 toothache, it can be applied with perfect safety, and with a certainty of securing relief.

The herb above denominated alkanet is well known under this title or name in the State of Ohio, and is used chiefly for colormg.
